No UNM is a stepping stone job these days.
Have seen some other folks that think they’re meeting to adjust his salary to increase the assistant pool.
He has an automatic 5th year rollover that many say will be eliminated to put pressure on him. It will save them money if he is fired next year. He is being given a lot of rope
Locals in ABQ are so pissed and feel betrayed.
I get it. One year. And it's a guy who constantly talks about family, loyalty, etc.
But here's the thing. The UNM job isn't the same job that he signed up for.
1. MWC split and UNM got left at the kids table. It's a lower tier job now than it was a year ago. What does this mean for recruiting? Future revenue? A path to the playoffs with a conference championship?
2. The AD who hired him left to become the Houston AD in August. UNM announced a new AD at the beginning of the week. Word is that while the President updated Bronco on the hiring process, they didn't involve him or seek his input and that caused some annoyance.
So when a college that made the adult table in the MWC, located an hour from where he's from in his home state, and culturally filled with fellow LDS folks (including boosters he will connect with through the Temple)... offers him a new job for more money, then I think anyone looking at it rationally says, "Of course he took the job. He'd have been stupid not to."
And he can routinely kick BSU and CSU’s ass…I’m all for it.
Could be a secret meeting of the Hair Club for Men....
Don't worry they have a plan...but they can't say what it is yet.
Speaking of clubs, Gundy would be my first guess if you told me a college coach had started rocking a Members Only jacket on the sideline.
That seems like a very healthy relationship moving forward. He should probably stay for sure.
If he's leaking this he's gonna make them fire him
Yeah he gone. By making this move, the University is basically forcing him out.
I hope he gets ****-canned. Cant stand that clown
The “firing him for cause” could get very interesting.
The question is whether OSU is a good job anymore. Supposedly, they don't have **** for NIL, but that could have also been due to Gundy's lack of enthusiasm and embracing of this new era.
Yeesh, it appears it's exclusively a Mike Gundy problem....
ahh, this is nice.
Nice of CU to send him out on a high note.
Sounds like something someone would say if the discussions were a bid to gain leverage for NFL offers.
That's a disaster waiting to happen
Please let UNC make this move
I wonder if whatever Pickens left in a trust for OSU is not legally able to be used for NIL.
Ah yes, a clause guaranteeing the next head coach (who also happens to be the offered coach's son). What could go wrong?
Matt Patricia in college (or anywhere for that matter) is a nightmare.
I thought he would be fired on the Monday after Thanksgiving.
I’ve never seen a coach more checked out. I think he lost a lot of enthusiasm when OU bolted to the SEC
